We arrive in Victoria late on Saturday, Amanda's apartment is too small for the interstellar clan, so Callie stayed with Amanda and Jo and I headed to our friends the Saunders. On Sunday I drove up the island to Cam bell River, and stayed with a Grant Whit more and his family.Grant and I were keen to continue our fishing competition that we started about5 years ago. Once again I had a great time fishing for trout and on the Monday, we fished for Pink Salmon that had just started to run up the river.

Mean while the girls back in Victoria were purchasing curtain material. Amanda and her boyfriend Johnny have bought a 1981 VW camper, and Jo had volunteered to make new curtains and I was to install them. As always these sort of jobs are always more time consuming than we thought, but the finished product looked fantastic,and Amanda and Johnny seemed to be pleased.

We also celebrated Amanda's 25 th birthday, at a great Italian restaurant .
